Good point. Lebanon, for all its ills, is a more secular nation than many in the region, with a religiously diverse population. You turn it into a hellhole, and you expand the influence of the Iranian shi'a government, and/or the influence of Syria. Even without this - you provide a breeding ground fro new recruits for Hesbollah. Then what?
